2025 International Women’s Day Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
[edit]Richmond Library, 8 March 2025
The Women's Art Register (WAR) is holding an Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon at Richmond Library on 8 March for International Women's Day. As a part of WAR's 50th anniversary celebration the editathon is focussing specifically on Aboriginal artists represented in the WAR archive and other Aboriginal women artists.
The event dashboard is here. This dashboard is for collecting information on the work done during the edit-a-thon.
This page is organised into three sections according to editing experience:
- New editors: easy tasks for new Wikipedia editors
- Somewhat experienced editors: general editing tasks for editors with some experience
- Experienced editors: tasks for editors with considerable experience
If you are keen to contribute but don't want to edit into Wikipedia you can prepare an article in a Word document and send it to one of the WAR editathon organisers to upload to Wikipedia.
Use the contents list to the left of this page to find editing suggests based on your level of experience with Wikipedia editing.

[edit]Pages to create
[edit]Info in the tables below.
Artist: The names with red links do not have a Wikipedia page yet. Users can click on the red link and go straight to creating a page. Once a page for that artist has been created, the link will become a blue hyperlink to the artist’s Wikipedia page.
WD: The WD column gives the wikidata item number for the artist. Wikidata is a database providing information and data about a person or a subject. Click on the Wikidata number to find starter reference sources about the artist. If you are a new editor you don't have to add to the wikidata item, you can just use it as source of information.
Resources: This column provides links to some open access sites where users can find information about the artist to include in her article. If the artist has an article, you can also refer to the list of references at the bottom of the page. Sources of online information about artists can be found on the Know My Name project page.
Comments: The comments suggest either improvements to be made to existing articles or an article which could be created for an artist. Editors who are new to Wikipedia may want to practice making edits first on the "Add more information" articles. Confident editors may like to start a new article. If you want to write a new article for an artist not on the list, please talk to one of the facilitators first.
Username: Please add your username to the table to show which article you are working so there are no double-ups on work.
If you add information to an existing article, always insert a citation to a reference source after each sentence or exhibition title if it is in a list. See: Wikipedia:Citing sources. For examples of citations to references including a reference for each exhibition see: Elizabeth Gower, Polixeni Papapetrou, Marcella Hempel, Rosalie Gascoigne.
Notability:
[edit]If you start a new article for an artist it is important that you add in enough information in the first paragraphs to show they are notable. See: Wikipedia:Notability (people), Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative professionals, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Opening paragraph.
For examples of notability shown in lead paragraphs see: Dorrit Black, Vivienne Binns, Grace Cossington Smith.
Wikipedia policy on Notability/Creative professionals
[edit]This guideline applies to authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals. Such a person is notable if:
- The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; or
- The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique; or
- The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series); or
- The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
